Arrow The Barry Allen/The Flash Thread - Part 1

[Sawyer]

In fairness, they dropped the first official look at Amell in costume in March 2012, so I doubt we'll need to wait quite that long.

 

[darknight7.1]

Way off topic and random.

Yeah, I didn't get in on the age dropping until the following page...

 

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

The Vampire Diaries‘ Rick Gosnett and Danielle Panabaker (Shark) are set to co-star opposite Grant Gustin and Jesse L. Martin in the CW pilot The Flash, based on the DC comic. Cosnett stars as star Detective Eddie Thawne, a recent transfer to the Central City Police Department, whose past is a mystery and who harbors a dark secret. Panabaker plays Caitlin Snow, a highly intelligent bioengineering expert who lost her fiancé during an explosion at S.T.A.R. Labs. Originally envisioned as a backdoor pilot episode of Arrow, Flash will now film a regular pilot directed by David Nutter, a move clearly geared toward a series pickup.

Thawne!!

 

[Sawyer]

Rick Cosnett as a soon-to-be villain is good casting. He's been menacing as **** on TVD this season.

Almost thought they had cast Panabaker as Iris. She's got a good look for it.

 

[HighFivingMF]

Killer Frost? Huh.

 

[Kevin Smith]

Kind of ironic the guy they cast as Thawne looks more like Barry Allen than the guy playing Barry Allen does:

 

[Sawyer]

Nothing? We just got our Zoom, you people!!!

EDIT: And of course someone would slip in before I hit 'Post'.

 

[Kevin Smith]

Almost thought they had cast Panabaker as Iris. She's got a good look for it.

I agree, she'd be great. (Looks wise at least... but it might be too much to ask :-/ ).

 

[Loki882]

So, Cosnett will possibly be Professor Zoom. Yeah, I can see that. I wonder if Panabaker will actually become Killer Frost, or if she'll just be Caitlin Snow. The thought of seeing Panabaker play a sociopathic villainess who enjoys torturing people is interesting to me (that's how Killer Frost was portrayed in the JLU and YJ cartoons).

 

[Savage]

I don't think I've seen him in anything but it is great that Zoom has been cast. I look forward to sweet super speed battles.

 

[greenlantern248]

The only part that gets me is the fact that they made Thawne a Detective. I know the producers have really yet to steer us wrong so I trust in what they do (not like I have a way to stop it lol).

But in other reaction this is awesome we got Zoom and Killer Frost.

Are they trying for a fall of 2014 release date for the show?

I feel like Thawne's probably a detective just so he can make Barry's life miserable.

 

[greenlantern248]

That's a good point didn't think of that. I wonder if they will make Thawne know that Barry is the Flash

 

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Yeah, this should be coming out in fall, provided the network picks it up.

 

[Nathan]

Well, from the looks of it, he did kill his mom. So yeah, he knows.

 

[herolee10]

I think the only thing that concerns me at this point is how well the super-speed effects come off as on this show. I just hope that the large amount of effects don't limit the show in terms of production quality like it did for "Smallville".

 

[Mr. Dent]

Kind of ironic the guy they cast as Thawne looks more like Barry Allen than the guy playing Barry Allen does:

Probably not a coincidence.

 

[Gee]

Mmm Danielle Panabaker...

 

[herolee10]

Mmm Danielle Panabaker...

I always thought that if they were going to cast a teenage/young adult Lana Lang for a Superman film, that Danielle would have been great for the role.

 

[Silver Surfer]

So Iris and Wally are the only ones left I guess, unless there are a few surprises. The West family is black so I'd say:

Heather Hemmens as Iris.

Noah Gray-Cabey as Wally

 

[Sawyer]

I'd rather they leave Wally out at the moment. I still think Arrow introduced Roy Harper too soon.

Plus that kid is 18. Jesse L. Martin is 45. Waaay too old to be his grandson.

 

[Kevin Smith]

Love how you guys keep casting barely black women as black Iris West, lol.

 

[Silver Surfer]

How? Have him attend boarding school or something? Or completely write him out of the West family?

 

[Silver Surfer]

I would like Kat Graham, but she's a regular on TVD. Not a whole lot of young black TV actresses to choose from to be honest.

 

[Sawyer]

Or have his parents not live in the immediate surroundings of Barry and Co. in Central City.

And also not be played by an 18 year old.
